The image of twistable toys was shot in the studio. This image shows positive and negative space, and balance. The point of view is straight on and was taken very close up with a shallow depth of field and focused on the foreground. The shutter speed was set to 1/320 of a second and with an ISO of 800 and set to a white balance of fluorescent. The image captures a humorous and playful mood due to the arrangement of toys.
In this photograph of the pond the main compositional element shown is the reflection of the clouds in the water. The shutter speed would have been set to a fast shutter speed with an ISO of 200 and a white balance set to cloudy. The photo was taken from a distance and has large depth of field since everything is in focus. The mood created with this photo is calming because the water is completely still. This photo breaks the rule of thirds because it is symmetrically balanced.
This image of lily pads displays the rule of thirds, and pattern. This was taken up close at an angle to avoid the reflection of myself being taken in the image. There is, however, a reflection of branches on the left side of the photo. The shutter speed was set to 1/85 of a second with an ISO of 100 and a white balance set to cloudy. The delicate lily pads appear graceful floating on the surface of the water. The lighter value of the lily pads create a focal point that contrasts to the darker value of the water surrounding them.
Technical aspects:
focus, ISO of 100, 1/125 shutter speed, shallow depth of field Composition: texture, framing of face created by branches Artistic Qualities: interesting point of view; with person out of focus they appear hidden or as if they are playing hide and go seek Technical aspects:
ISO of 800, slow shutter speed of 1/12 of a second Composition: leading lines, texture, rule of thirds Artistic Qualities: compelling subject matter, intriguing: fabric shows a sense of movement Technical aspects:
ISO of 800, shutter speed of 1/125 of a second Composition: texture, positive and negative space, asymmetrical balance Artistic Qualities: The double exposure's composition plays with the center of the overlaid flower become Rachel's eye.
